Welcome to Pure X Factor

Jennifer Lopez was interviewed by Capital FM yesterday during the Summertime Ball. Jennifer remarked how she will probaby watch the X Factor since she is a fan to these type of shows. She also mentioned wishing Nicole Scherzinger the best of luck. More below in a take from Showbiz Spy.

“You know what, I watch all those shows. I’m a big fan of those type of shows so I’ll probably be watching.”

The On The Floor hitmaker had kind words for Nicole Scherzinger — who will be a judge on The X Factor alongside Simon Cowell, L.A. Reid and Paula Abdul – wishing her “the best” of luck for her new venture.

“I just saw Nicole backstage,” she said. “I gave her all my love and wished her the best, she says she’s already started. She was supposed to be the host and now she’s a judge and she’s very excited about that.”

Well, besides singing and talent acts, I can forecast another feature right now to the X Factor! It’s going to be a fashion haven with dramatic, beautiful fashionistas like Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger gracing the judging panel every week. Then there is L.A. Reid who is one of the finest dressed gentlemen that I’ve seen in a long while in his classy silk lined pin-striped suits. Know what I’m saying?

Fashion Designer Leanne Marshall wrote on Paula in her blog this past week. Leanne said she’s been meeting with Paula for quite some time and has “had an incredible time making a whole series of custom garments for her.” Below is a picture Leanne posted of Paula in the pink number she designed. Be sure to check out Leanne’s blog called “Pedals and Waves” to see why maybe Paula has chosen her. Leanne Marshall’s dresses are one of a kind.

Below is Paula in another Leanne Marshall creation holding flowers given to her from Cheryl Cole who Paula has openly commented that she has no issues with and only wishes Cheryl the best. More here on the other gifts Cheryl sent to the show. Note how Simon was left out which is of no surprise there.

Here’s to the auditions in Miami this week when we’ll get to see more of the X Factor judging panel in fabulous attire. No doubt!

Along with Jennifer Lopez, Enrique Eglesias, and other artists, Nicole Scherzinger performed for Capital FM’s Summertime Ball at London’s Wembley Stadium in London on Sunday. According to the Daily Mail, the show was phenomenal with show stopping performances not to mention diva fashion face-offs! More in detail at the link as well as photos and videos of their performances.

Nicole also addressed the X Factor in several interviews. Speaking to 95-106 Capital FM, Nicole told BANG Showbiz that she is fascinated by the chemistry between Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul. She also mentions how her role on the show is going great so far. She even gave some advise to the new judges on the UK version of the X Factor.

“I’m not there to be in between them. I get the front row ticket at the Paula and Simon show and I’m fascinated watching them, they’ve been working together for over 10 years.

“It’s just an honour for me being part of the panel, being an artist.”

Nicole — who replaced British singer Cheryl Cole as a judge on the panel — has completed her first round of auditions on the show, and has enjoyed the experience so far.

She added: “It’s going great! I just had my first judging time in New Jersey. It was a lot of fun. The other judges are brilliant and inspiring to be around. We don’t have private dressing rooms we like to keep it all out and open so we all share the same space.”

She also had some words of advice to Kelly Rowland and Tulisa Contostavlos — who joined the panel on the U.K. version of ‘The X Factor’ following the departure of Cheryl and Dannii Minogue — telling them they just need to be themselves on the show.

Nicole added: “I would tell them just be yourself and have fun with it and speak from your heart. Try and be constructive if you can as well because these are these people’s dreams.”

Nicole also chatted with ITV Daybreak about her new judging role and a little on Cheryl Cole saying she did what was best for her.

“My take is I was happy to be a part of the show, accept the role of the host, because I believe in Simon, I believe in the X Factor.

“I’ve met Cheryl only a couple of times and she’s absolutely gorgeous and lovely.

“I know she’s done what’s best for her. And for me it’s an honour to be up there, to be able to have a voice and serve as a mentor.”

Wow, what I had given to be at Wembley Stadium yesterday
